We have run into an issue that we thought others might also have to deal with or may need to deal with in the future. That is that Jam is not really cross-compile friendly. It assumes a certain form of library exists on each platform which is generally a reasonable thing to do since on Windows you have Windows libraries and on Unix you have Unix style libraries. This however is not necessarily the case if you are cross-compiling.

What we do is use the directory names to encode what should be built. Something like: vx-ppc, win32, vx-x86.

Our crack jam expert made these translate into the right build environment and rules.
